Flickr, like twitter and YouTube seems to be everywhere nowadays. And just to make things that little bit easier here are 10 WP Plugins to integrate Flickr directly into your blog.

Flickr Photo Album for WordPress

Wordpress Flickr Plugin Description: This Flickr plugin for WordPress will allow you to pull in your Flickr photosets and display them as albums on your WordPress site. There is a pretty simple template provided, but you can customize the templates 100% to match the look and feel of your own site. And if you want, you could also hook it up with Lightbox or any other number of display libraries.
On the backend, this plugin will also add a new Flickr icon to your WordPress edit screen which will allow you to easily insert your Flickr photos into your blog posts with just a couple clicks. You can either have your inserted photos link back to your WordPress Flickr photo album or directly to your Flickr.com photo page.

Flickr Manager for WordPress

Wordpress Flickr Plugin Description: Wordpress Flickr Manager is an easy to use plugin that seamlessly integrates your Flickr account with your WordPress backend. It replaces the browse panel from previous versions, but legacy mode can be enabled through the options menu. You also have the choice between Highslide and Lightbox.

Flickr Tag Plugin for WordPress

Flickr Thumbnail Photo stream for WordPress

Description: The Flickr Thumbnail Photostream Wordpress plugin makes including and linking to photos on a Flickr account simple and flexible. The links come in the form of thumbnail images that link to their larger, normal formats within the Flickr website. The advantage of this plugin is that it does not use RSS feeds and uses the Flickr API instead.

Flickr Tag Cloud Widget for WordPress

Wordpress Flickr Plugin Description: This is plugin for the Widget Sidebar in Wordpress. It will display your flickr tags as a tag cloud in your blog’s sidebar.

WP Decoratr is very easy to use and doesn’t need any configuration. It will add a panel on the “Write Post” page. Compose your post as usual and click “Get Images” when you’re done. WP Decoratr will analyse your post content and suggest several matching images. Just click on an image to insert it in your post.

I used the tantannoodles Flickr plugin but it wreaked havoc with the style sheet of the page. Did anyone else experience this?

Did I miss something. I want a pluging that will automatically pick up my images from a Wordpress post and send them up to my Flickr photostream with the tags intact.

Anybody got something like this?

It seems none of those plugins have a php code to insert manually into a template. The tantan one looks good but they don’t have a manual code. =/

@John: In the next version I’m going to include a php function to manually insert it into a theme, because I need something like that for my site. :)

Named GRAND Flash Album Gallery – multi category flash skin based photo gallery with powerful admin. I used it in my blog. There are so many different settings. You can adjust the color scheme for your blog as you wish. There are many different skins. You can present your photo gallery in a wonderful way, there is a full-screen mode. This is a very cool plugin.
